JASON DONOVAN - DONOVAN DENIES DISHING DIRT ON MINOGUE

LATEST: Fallen Australian actor and pop star JASON DONOVAN has slammed reports he is planning to release a tell-all book detailing his romance with KYLIE MINOGUE. A British tabloid claimed Donovan, who co-starred alongside Minogue on the Australian soap opera NEIGHBOURS, had received a $1.95 million (GBP1 million) advance to reveal the intimate details of their relationship. The report quoted an unnamed publishing executive saying, "The chapters about Kylie are absolutely gripping and have every sexy detail about Kylie." But, though Donovan admits he has signed a book deal, he insists he doesn't know how anyone has read extracts from it - because he hasn't even started writing it yet. Donovan also reveals that his reported fee for the project is greatly exaggerated: "Being paid a million pounds for my biography is a gross misrepresentation of the truth." The 38-year-old reveals his book will deal more with his battles with drugs and his efforts to resurrect his career. He adds, "I'm proud of my past, I had a great time, I sang some great pop songs and I hope it's not finished."
